      @@jasonmw1471 Now that’s all great, now do Trump. Also did he start the endless wars with no exist strategy? Also there are few details you twisted and some are just false. Site your sources and maybe you will figure out where you got it wrong. But sure there is plenty to complain. But as a Muslim child of war and a refugee, Trump made my skin crawl. I can give you the list of shit Trump did and we can compare. The biggest difference between Bush or Obama ( and there is plenty of crap to list) and Trump is that Trump made Islamophobia and xenophobia publicly acceptable. He made bullying acceptable. While all politicians lie , Trump was so compulsive that you had no time to get angry or shocked because the next one was right there. Because of Trump this country is divided way, way more then ever before. Before it was about disagreements on taxes, abortion , welfare.....not its one side believing there is a devil worshiping, baby blood drinking elitist cult controlling the country and the other believing everyone that voted for Trump is just as evil as him.

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state Nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +234947398089) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you in Jesus name........

      Trump thought he could create the best economy in history by making cuts that really shouldn’t have been made. He dismantled the pandemic response team both Obama and Biden had left him in the event of a viral outbreak. And look what happened? Over a quarter of a million Americans dead to an outbreak and counting, including my mother. The economy doesn’t matter when you’re dead.
      So no I’m not manipulated. Trump had no idea what he was doing and my mother died because of it. A lot of people’s mothers died, and fathers, and sons and daughters, etc etc. Enough was enough! I voted Biden to save us from more death and destruction.

      Beloved, I don't know you in person but God know you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state Nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +234947398089) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you in Jesus name.........

      Obama is not "my president". He came from nowhere with no experience at running anything and nearly drove our economy into the dirt.

    I had almost forgotten what it was like to hear from a man that understood and enjoyed his job. Not one that avoids it at all costs and never actually wanted the job.
